Van den Bosch invests in new board computers

Van den Bosch Transporten has invested in new board computers. The present communication system used in the company’s trucks is being replaced by the Trimble CarCube.

The CarCube is an advanced communication system for trucks which features a range of functions, such as track & trace, use and performance data exchange, automatic driver identification and driving & rest times integration. The system is also equipped with truck navigation and documents can now be scanned and sent from the truck.

Van den Bosch Transporten’s Business Unit Manager, Barry Gruijters said: “The big advantage of the new board computer is the real time exchange of data. We will now instantly have all important data at our disposal through the corresponding software. That means the driver is more and better able to keep track, thus simplifying and improving the cooperation between drivers and planners. Moreover, manual reading of data cartridges and driver cards will now be things of the past.”

The replacement of the board computers started late in 2016 with all Dutch trucks now upgraded. First reactions are positive, Barry said: “Everyone had to get used to it, of course, but the advantages are crystal clear. Continuous data exchange enables us to keep track better and to be able to work more efficiently. We are looking forward to the coming period in which the phased introduction of the new board computer will take place.″
